When looking at splits... when looking at ones made for "trucks" do the math to verify the output will do. ( There is a formula for converting Watts to BTU.) Say that cause some truck cab splits are intended to keep cool a cab already brought to a comfortable temp by the Engine AC system.

The split is only designed to maintains the cool at night while the driver sleeps. Takes a lot less to maintain cool than it does to bring a hot camper up to comfortable temp. For example I think I read an average full-size car's AC is equivalent to a home 16000 BTU unit. Has to be; to get a hot car cool fast.

This was the route that I had intended to go with our AC off of the honda 2000. Was just going to make it a nice cabinet and utilize the old exhaust fan vent to exhaust the hot air. Which all happens to be right ontop of the vented ext. compartment I had intended to use for the generator.
